Big Tech braces for disinformation in the midterms

And big tech was not ready. Now, tech companies are trying to get ahead of misinformation that could affect the coming midterms. Plus, Georgia’s election interference probe heats up. And, the rise of anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers. Guests: Axios' Sara Fischer, Emma Hurt and Oriana Gonzalez.
